So we decided to do another give away, this time two cookbooks. One of the cookbooks has all the ins and outs of frying a turkey, and that got us on to a conversation about how Thanksgiving was so different even just a few decades ago.
Just think, when our parents were kids, you didn’t just run to Wal-Mart and grab a frozen turkey and thaw it out. Very often, the turkey that you ate for this festive occasion was one that you had become friendly with by way of fattening it up all year. And then, there was the pesky business of getting the bird from the walking and squawking phase to the plump delicious dinner phase.
Now, let me say that even though I love turkey, if I had to do all the necessary steps involved in the killing, plucking, boiling, etc. my family would have to learn to love the vegetarian lifestyle. Tofu would be our most valued player at the table. I don’t particularly like messing with the bird prior to it being cooked and on the plate honestly, and the idea of having to chase a live animal around in order to somehow make it into a Normal Rockwell holiday meal is really nothing short of comical.
So, in celebration of not having to do the dirty work ourselves, here is our newest giveaway. Two cookbooks that will tell you how to fry up an already dead bird in several delicious ways. Also included is a cookbook of recipes from Dena’s school. Leave us a comment on here or on the Facebook fan page to throw your name into the hat.
Get your comments in by Monday, November 23rd at 5:00 P.M. and we will pick a winner! Stay tuned for more stories of our Thanksgiving holiday as we blog all about it over the next few days (we are doing ours early this year due to scheduling).
